Goodyear Tyre Test: In Pictures

5th July 2023

Yesterday (4 July), the 2023 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship got back on track for its Official Goodyear Tyre Test.

The one-day event took place during the mid-season break, with just over three weeks to go until the Championship's next race weekend at Croft (29/30 July).

Not only did the Test give teams the opportunity to make tweaks and changes to their respective set-ups, but it was also hosted at the Donington Park GP Circuit, marking the first time the BTCC used the layout since 2002.

This ensured teams and drivers had the chance to test the full track prior to the official series return in August (26/27).

Catch-up with the day through the pictures below...
